Ferrari sack entire pit crew

The Ferrari Formula 1 team fired their entire pit crew yesterday.

The announcement followed Ferrari's decision to take advantage of the UK
Government's Youth Opportunity Scheme and employ people from Glasgow.

The decision to hire them followed a recent documentary on how
unemployed youths from the Govan and Possilpark areas of Glasgow were
able to remove a set of wheels in less than 6 seconds without proper
equipment, whereas Ferrari's existing crew can only do it in 8 seconds
with millions of euros worth of high tech equipment.

As most races are won and lost in the pits, Ferrari thought they had the
advantage over every team.

However, Ferrari got more than they bargained for. At the first practice
session, the Govan & Possilpark pit crew successfully changed the tyres
in less than 6 seconds, but within 12 seconds they had re-sprayed,
re-badged and sold the vehicle to the McLaren team for 8 bottles of WKD
Irn Bru, a kilo of speed and some photos of Lewis Hamilton's bird in the
shower.

Someone just emailed this to me and i thought it was pretty amusing, and might as well post it here!

Nice one. I'd expect the Ferrari to have arrived with no wheels, suppported on bricks.

Just to confirm... we're aren't all like that in Glasgow.

No, some wouldn't have sold it for anything less than 4 bottles of buckie.

Don't come anywhere near us or you'll get this.

If you do come... don't park your car... http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=148NCCNUZ ... re=related" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

On a serious note though, I think that Ferrari must look at their pitstops before the new season, they need to get them silky smooth 99% of the time to make sure that they dont lose places and more importantly points.

would be better if it were about scousers .

I suppose there is only so many F1 related jokes, but that one has been bashed about a bit.

In fact I can think of only one there F1 joke and that is very grim
